WASHINGTON, D.C. – Last night, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas issued an order preliminarily enjoining the Biden Administration’s radical and unlawful Title IX rules in a lawsuit filed by America First Legal (AFL) and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton against President Biden’s Secretary of Education, Miguel Cardona, and others.
This preliminary injunction will stop the Biden Administration’s Title IX rules from wreaking havoc on women, children, and schools across the country. The court ruled that the Biden Administration must halt its Title IX rules, which would force girls in every public school to share restrooms, locker rooms, and private facilities with men, among other things.
In reaching its decision on the preliminary injunction, the Court held that Texas was substantially likely to prevail on the merits of its case because, amongst other things:
- Title VII does not govern Title IX;
- Bostock’s “but-for” causation does not apply to Title IX;
- Title IX does not address gender identity or sexual orientation;
- The final rule issued by the Biden Administration is arbitrary and capricious;
- The sex-based harassment rules likely violate the First Amendment.
America First Legal looks forward to continuing this litigation with the State of Texas to stop the Biden Administration from further imposing its radical agenda upon the American people.
